Craft Store

✔ Biz Structure

You can choose to be a(n) Craft Store :

Sole Proprietor,
LLC,
Corporation or
Partnership.
After you decide and select your business entity, you need licensing.

✔ Biz License

Tremont Business Tax Registration ( Craft StoreBusiness License)
All businesses including home, online or mobile BUSINESS need a BUSINESS license because they are BUSINESSES.

✔ DBA Biz Name

A(n) Craft Store business doing business under an assumed business name in Schuylkill County i.e. you are a business that uses a DBA doing business as trade name to trade that is other than the full legal (first and last -- full name) name of a sole proprietor or a name other than the LLC or Corporation business name need a(n) assumed business name certificate. E.g. you venture into a(n) Craft Store business and you give it a trade name such as "Excellence Craft Store & Associates". You will need to register an assumed business name certificate.

✔ Seller Permit

In PA Craft Store you need a resale ID ( AKA seller's permit) if you selling touchable items. (A.K.A state id, wholesale, resale, reseller certificate, about $39 for most states). You will need it if you sell or want to buy wholesale any Craft Store related items, such as food, materials, or merchandise.
Seller's Permit

✔ Federal EIN

Note: All businesses need a federal tax ID number except sole proprietors that are not employers and are not independent contractors.
An independent contractor is a self employed business person that receives more than $600 per year from anyone of his or her clients.
IRS rule: The client must issue a 1099 form to the independent contractor and the independent contractor must have a federal tax ID. However, even sole owners may obtain a federal ID and use it as a business tax ID instead of using their own social security number as a business tax ID number.
However, all other licenses that apply to sole proprietors as discussed here are requited regardless of getting a federal tax ID number.

✔ State EIN

In addition you will need a federal and a state EIN if you will hire employees. I.e., a PA Federal Tax Id Number ($29) and a(n) PA State Employer Tax Number

✔ L L C

Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in Tremont, Incorporate in PA or form a(n) PA LLC .

Filing a DBA is not required if you will set up an LLC or form a Corporation. If you will do business under your first and last legal name you will not need to get a fictitious business name.
Also note that even using your first and last name may not help you avoid filing a DBA if the name has a suffix such as "& sons" etc.

✔ Incorporation

If you do form an Retail Selling llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Craft Store business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba), that insurs that you don't have personal liability for debts and civile liabililty arising from your business dealings and you will not have to record the Tremont business name. In lieu of recording a Schuylkill County trade company name (our filing service fee includes trade name registration and newspaper legal publication for 4 weeks) you can also form a corporation in PA or form an PA LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes bylaws for the corporation and Limited Liability operating agreement for the LLC that is required to open a business bank account). .

I need a sellers permit for a show this weekend in Manassas VA...could you get it done in a day?

Answer:If you sell crafts you must be collecting sales tax. Most states require sellers to obtain a permanent or temporary or even a transient vendor's permit, from another state that the crafts are sold or to register with the state where crafts are sold and collect and submit usually quarterly tax on sales of taxable goods, such as manufactured crafts. Thus, according to VA sales tax law, you will need a seller's permit AKA sales tax ID to service or sell Crafts. To buy Crafts accessories, food etc. wholesale, you need a sales tax id also called a seller's permit because some services require sales tax. So you need at least a dba, LLC or corporation so you can register your Crafts company as a business, the seller's permit for that and as a business, a business license and an EIN.

I'm not sure if I am in the right place. I am crafter and I make and sell handmade items such as eye pillows, Neck pillows, Custom made Tumblers and more. Furthermore, I have had several people ask me if I can make Georgia Bulldog Tumblers and stuff and other Football Teams stuff, I told them right now I can't because I am trying to find out what I need to get in order for me to make them and sell them

Answer: Hi Stephanie, here is what you Need In Order To Sell Prints Online.

First, you need LLC, DBA, or Corporation, so you can register your business name "Holochan,".

Second, You will need to buy your crafts supply wholesale and sell them retail (i.e., collecting sales tax). In both cases, you will need to obtain a seller's permit to do it legally.

Third, you need a business license and or a home occupation permit. If you are a home business, you may need just one or both of these.

Finally, If you hire crafts workers, you will need both a Federal EIN, and a State EIN as well.
